Chapter 341: It's good to have acquaintances
Jiang Lingyun and Bai Feier arrived at the Ancient Secret Palace by flying on their swords.
Gazing at the enormous, labyrinthine city that stood tall amidst the mountains, Jiang Lingyun squinted, looked at it for a while longer, and then descended with Bai Feier.
They landed on the edge, near the large camp where the cultivators were stationed, and then Jiang Lingyun said, "Go in by yourself, I won't show myself."
"Master, aren't you coming along?"
Bai Feier took a deep breath. She had been looking forward to this exploration of the Ancient Secret Palace, but now she felt uneasy instead.
Because those who came were all prodigies from some of the most renowned and powerful forces in the world! Compared to them, he didn't seem to have such a high profile, nor did he seem to be that strong. After all, he had only become the disciple of the world's number one swordsman yesterday, and he was already here for training the very next day...
To be honest, she wasn't entirely confident.
"No, it's not appropriate for someone like me to explore such a secret realm of immortals, so you'll have to rely on yourself."
This is an exploration of a secret realm.
Normally, cultivators at the Saintly Stage would not participate.
Such secret realms usually have restrictions, or they may not, but it is a consensus and an unspoken oath that Mahayana and Saintly cultivators do not participate. After all, would Old Deng have any shame in going to compete with young people for opportunities?
Moreover, even if these people obtained such an opportunity related to immortality, it might not be of any use to them.
Jiang Lingyun is powerful enough, even having touched upon certain levels of "ascension to immortality," but she cannot ascend because the current Xuan Tian Realm lacks certain things. Therefore, such opportunities are useless to her, or if they exist, their chances are negligible.
As for those less powerful Saints and Mahayana cultivators, even if they obtained it, what could they do?
They have reached their "upper limit".
People like this should have some self-awareness and stop trying to take things from younger people.
Moreover, which of the younger generation who can come to such a secret realm doesn't have some backing or influence?
I'm not afraid.
"This exploration is a test for you. You are outstanding, but sometimes even the most outstanding talents can stumble in the gutter."
Jiang Lingyun said this.
"Go ahead. I'm rooting for you."
After saying that, her figure vanished right before Bai Feier's eyes. It wasn't that Jiang Lingyun teleported somewhere; she simply used some techniques that made Bai Feier unable to see her or sense her presence.
"……All right."
Bai Feier calmed herself down.
Since Master said he wanted to test her, then let's test her!
She's been accepted as a disciple by the "Saint of Ten Thousand Swords," so why is she timid at a time like this?
Smoothing the wrinkles in her skirt, Bai Feier strode towards the open space where hundreds of cultivators were stationed. Many of them were resting there so that they wouldn't be in poor condition when they entered the Ancient Secret Palace.
Everyone seems to have clearly defined their territories.
Which factions occupy a certain area for rest, and those factions with good relations with each other are also located close to each other...
Bai Feier looked around, and then heard someone call her name. "Miss Feier!"
She was taken aback; the voice sounded familiar.
Looking up, I discovered that it was Meng Yirou, the Holy Maiden of the Divine Palace of Healing, whom I hadn't seen in a long time!
Bai Feier was somewhat pleased by this.
Ok!
Although she and Meng Yirou were only friends on the surface, they were still acquaintances. Having someone you know in a place like this is actually quite uplifting.
So Bai Feier went over.
"It's been quite a while since we last met."
Meng Yirou was quite enthusiastic, but Bai Feier thought she had forgotten about her. After all, compared to Meng Yirou, she herself seemed unqualified to stand with her in terms of background and talent.
"Fortunately, I heard you broke through to the seventh-grade alchemist. I haven't congratulated you yet. You are probably the youngest seventh-grade alchemist in history."
Bai Feier smiled.
Meng Yirou shook her head, her smile appearing somewhat forced.
A seventh-grade alchemist?
Actually, I benefited from the influence of that Senior Gu. If he hadn't been kind enough to let me watch him refine medicine and gain extremely terrifying insights, how could I have advanced to the seventh rank so quickly?
Whether to attribute the credit to him or to her own talent, Meng Yirou was very clear about it.
"It's all thanks to him."
This is a piece of land occupied by the Qingyi Divine Palace itself, so there are no people from other forces here. However, some disciples and elders from the Qingyi Divine Palace are here, so Meng Yirou didn't explain things too clearly.
After all, Senior Gu is a recluse and certainly doesn't want too many people to know his true identity.
Although he is an incredibly powerful being, if he encounters any cultivator undergoing tribulation on the road, he would probably choose to take a detour.
There are very few people who live in seclusion to this extent.
"By the way, Miss Fei'er, have you seen that senior again? I benefited greatly from his guidance last time, and I wanted to find him again, but he is no longer in Qingmu City..."
Meng Yirou felt a little regretful.
Bai Feier raised an eyebrow and then said, "Young Master Gu has moved and is staying somewhere else now."
As for where Gu Heng was, she did not say it explicitly.
Bai Feier wasn't sure whether Gu Heng had a better or worse impression of Meng Yirou. After all, when they first met, Meng Yirou's tone wasn't exactly arrogant, but it was at least somewhat haughty. Then Gu Heng slapped her in the face with his alchemy skills.
"Yeah……"
Meng Yirou's smile was somewhat forced. She understood the meaning behind Bai Feier's incomplete statement and knew that Bai Feier must have seen Gu Heng again.
Although she was envious, she also knew that she didn't seem to have left a good first impression on Gu Heng.
So, could I go see Gu Heng one more time?
That depends on fate.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Meng Yirou asked, "By the way, are you also planning to enter this secret palace?"
Bai Feier nodded.
Meng Yirou pondered for a moment and said, "Fei'er, forgive my bluntness, but this Ancient Secret Palace might be extremely dangerous. It is said to be a wonder created by immortals. However, if we join forces, we can take care of each other." "Hmm, what you said makes sense."
Bai Feier nodded.
She had originally planned to team up with Meng Yirou.
After all, when exploring such unknown and mysterious places, it's definitely safer to be with people you know. Teaming up with strangers... sometimes you have to be wary of being stabbed in the back.
Bai Feier was certainly not afraid of being stabbed in the back, but it would be best if she could concentrate all her energy on dealing with this kind of secret realm.
"...Holy Maiden, who is this person?"
Suddenly, a white-robed elder walked over and frowned as he looked at Bai Feier, who was having a pleasant conversation with Meng Yirou.
